Mortal Alchemy

Meng Huang'er manipulated the flying sword, slowly carrying Chen Ping towards Baisha Fang City.

Along the way, her eyes occasionally lingered on Chen Ping's face.

Chen Ping couldn't help but wonder, "Senior Sister Meng, is there a flower on my face?"

Meng Huang'er's earlobes burned: "No, I'm just very surprised that the dark and thin little kid from back then has grown up to be so handsome."

Chen Ping laughed:

"Senior Sister Meng still likes to wear peach-colored Daoist robes, her charm hasn't diminished at all."

Meng Huang'er's age and cultivation level definitely made it impossible for her to break through to Foundation Establishment.

"Senior Sister Meng, do you have a Daoist partner yet?"

Meng Huang'er's delicate body stiffened slightly, she slowly shook her head, and gave a wry smile: "No."

This surprised Chen Ping: "No? That shouldn't be, Senior Sister Meng is beautiful and kind..."

Even though she was now in her thirties, she was as ripe as a peach. For cultivators, this age was when charm and grace coexisted.

"Junior Brother, don't overthink it, it's just that I don't want to find one," Meng Huang'er said.

"Ah?" Chen Ping asked, puzzled: "Why is that?"

Meng Huang'er's tone was calm, but she said something very unsettling:

"The best way for slaves to stop being slaves is to not create new slaves."

"If we leave behind offspring, will they repeat the suffering of our generation of slaves?"

Chen Ping nodded and sighed: "Without reaching Foundation Establishment, that's indeed the case..."

Twenty years ago, when he first arrived at the Mu family, Senior Brother Tang Sheng of the Affairs Hall told Meng Huang'er that she still had a chance to break through to Foundation Establishment.

Once you enter the Mu family, it's like entering a deep sea. If you're not a direct descendant, then you'll most likely be a slave for the rest of your life, doing hard labor and receiving meager monthly stipends.

Immediately, Meng Huang'er brushed her hair and said:

"I've been busy with Foundation Establishment for the first half of my life, even borrowing money. If I get married and have children, then for the second half of my life, I'll be busy raising children and earning cultivation resources for them, an endless cycle. When will it ever end?"

Her smile was a little bleak: "So, it's better to end this with my generation."

Chen Ping couldn't help but empathize and sighed:

"Senior Sister is absolutely right."

"If I can't break through to Foundation Establishment, then I should be the same as Senior Sister."

Meng Huang'er covered her mouth and smiled, full of charm:

"So, Senior Sister, right now, just wants to eat well, drink well, and have enough spirit stones, so I don't have to go to the Affairs Hall and be humble."

"Junior Brother, if you have any tasks, you can also entrust them to me."

Chen Ping nodded seriously: "If there is a need, I will definitely ask Senior Sister for help."

"Speaking of which, what happened to that Senior Brother Tang Sheng back then?"

Meng Huang'er pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly:

"It seems that he died of illness at his post after you entered the Mu family."

Chen Ping felt a chill in his heart. This Tang Sheng was probably not dead from illness, but was probably killed by Mu Xingling.

It seems that Meng Huang'er still doesn't know the truth about the Immortal Gate Token incident and hasn't been poisoned by Mu Xingling.

While chatting, they arrived at Baisha Fang City.

Meng Huang'er brought Chen Ping to a spiritual ornament shop.

"Eh?" Chen Ping's expression was a little subtle: "Senior Sister Meng, are you here to hand over a task?"

"Yes," Meng Huang'er nodded.

Walking into the spiritual ornament shop.

"Junior Sister Meng, you're here." A beautiful woman in a red dress behind the counter stood up, greeted her, and then said uncertainly:

"Is this Junior Brother Chen?"

Chen Ping smiled and cupped his hands: "Senior Sister Hua Die, long time no see."

The charming Mu Hua Die giggled: "I was wondering why magpies were chirping early this morning, it turns out that Junior Brother Chen was coming."

Meng Huang'er was a little surprised: "Junior Brother Chen, you actually know Senior Sister Hua Die?"

Chen Ping nodded: "When I first arrived at the Pill Hall, Senior Sister Hua Die took care of me a lot."

Meng Huang'er was even more surprised: "Junior Brother, you're actually from the Pill Hall?"

The Pill Hall was such a terrible place...

Mu Hua Die said: "Junior Sister Meng, you go to the back hall and wait for a while, I'll call the customer over for you to hand over the task."

Meng Huang'er nodded and said to Chen Ping: "Then Junior Brother Chen, you wait for me here, the task will be handed over soon, and I'll accompany you to have tea later."

"Okay, no problem, I also need to buy a few new sets of clothes, I'll take a look in Senior Sister Hua Die's shop," Chen Ping nodded.

Hearing these words, Mu Hua Die's smile grew thicker.

Chen Ping glanced at Mu Hua Die. After not seeing her for a few years, her complexion was rosy and her demeanor was graceful.

She looked much better than the last time he saw her when she was so down and out.

Mu Hua Die gave Chen Ping a flirtatious look and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Chen, you can look at anything in the shop, Senior Sister will give you a 20% discount."

"Okay," Chen Ping cupped his hands and smiled: "Thank you for your care, Senior Sister."

Chen Ping wandered around the shop and bought a few sets of clothes, spending two hundred spirit stones.

Such a large sum of money made Mu Hua Die's chest heave up and down. Her current dress was quite glamorous, and a large expanse of snow-white chest was very alluring.

She even leaned her upper body on the counter, her posture was familiar and natural, as if she often did this. How could ordinary cultivators resist such a seductive appearance?

However, after Chen Ping refined Ji Changsheng's soul, he could distinguish between love and desire more clearly and control himself better.

He had no reaction to Mu Hua Die's seduction.

Chen Ping changed into a set of clothes in the shop. When he walked out of the changing room, a man and a woman happened to walk into the shop.

Chen Ping knew both of these men and women.

The female cultivator was young, with a delicate and attractive figure, and her appearance was six or seven points similar to Mu Hua Die.

"Mother."

"Mother-in-law."

This female cultivator was Mu Hongluan, who was now managing the warehouse of the Pill Hall, and the male cultivator was Junior Brother Du of the Pill Hall.

When Mu Hua Die saw her son-in-law, Junior Brother Du, her chest, which was originally exposed, immediately pulled up her collar, covering it tightly.

Seeing that Chen Ping was also here.

The two cupped their hands again: "Senior Brother Chen."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "So it's Junior Sister Hongluan, Junior Brother Du."

"But I don't know when the two of you got married."

This Junior Brother Du wanted to pursue Mu Hua Die back then, but unexpectedly, he ended up marrying Mu Hongluan. This matter was quite interesting.

Mu Hongluan said: "We've been married for more than a year. Senior Brother Chen wasn't in the Pill Hall at the time, so there was no way to invite you."

Chen Ping laughed: "I went out to find opportunities, but I didn't find any opportunities. It's my fault for missing Junior Sister Hongluan's wedding."

He immediately took out ten spirit stones as a gift.

In any case, Mu Hongluan could be considered to have grown up under his watch.

"Oh dear, thank you, Senior Brother Chen." Mu Hongluan said in surprise: "Senior Brother Chen is so generous!"

Mu Hua Die said with a delicate smile: "Your Senior Brother Chen just spent two hundred spirit stones in the shop, his wealth is not ordinary."

At this moment, Junior Brother Du's expression changed slightly. They were all disciples of the Pill Hall, so why was Senior Brother Chen so rich?

Chen Ping laughed: "I went out to find opportunities for a breakthrough. I didn't find any opportunities, but I accidentally earned some spirit stones."
